Abstract Aim We explore the phylogeography of Himalayan wolves using multiple genetic markers applied on a landscape‐scale dataset and relate our findings to biogeographic history region. Location Himalayas Nepal, Tibetan Plateau China mountain ranges Central Asia. Taxon wolf (also called wolf), Canis lupus chanco . Methods present large‐scale, non‐invasive study from across their estimated range. analysed 280 scat samples western China, Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan at two mtDNA loci, 17...
Abstract Replicated multiple scale species distribution models (SDMs) have become increasingly important to identify the correct variables determining and their influences on ecological responses. This study explores multi‐scale habitat relationships of snow leopard ( Panthera uncia ) in two areas Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau western China. Our primary objectives were evaluate degree which relationships, expressed by predictors, scales response, magnitude effects, consistent across or locally...
Habitat evaluation constitutes an important and fundamental step in the management of wildlife populations conservation policy planning. Geographic information system (GIS) species presence data provide means by which such can be done. Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) is widely used habitat suitability modeling due to its power accuracy additional descriptive properties. To survey snow leopard Qomolangma (Mt. Everest, QNNR) National Nature Reserve, Tibet, China, we pooled 127 pugmarks, 415 scrape...
Identification of the effect anthropogenic threats on ecosystem is crucial. We used molecular tools and remote sensing to evaluate population status an isolated Asian elephant in southwestern China response changes habitat suitability between 1989 2019. A total 22 unique genotypes were identified from 117 dung samples collected March June 2018 using microsatellite DNA analysis, including 13 males 9 females. Based size fecal boli, 1 animal was a juvenile, subadults, 12 adults, indicating that...
Abstract Conservation interventions for threatened species must be based on accurate assessments of the effects anthropogenic pressures habitat suitability. We used multiscale multivariable species‐distribution modeling to evaluate suitability an Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ) population in Shangyong Reserve, Yunnan Province, southwestern China. investigated scales at which measurements environmental variables best reflected selection, and examined whether these responses changed over 2...
Abstract Balancing development and conservation is one of the major challenges for modern societies. Negative human–wildlife interactions, especially crop raiding by wildlife, greatly undermine this objective. Jilin Province in Northeast China encompasses ecosystems high biodiversity value but endures serious losses yields due to wild boars ( Sus scrofa ). Mitigation measures have been hindered knowledge gaps boar damage patterns. Our objective was investigate how responded human‐dominated...
ContextFew evaluations exist on the effectiveness of connectivity modelling methods for assessing landscape structure and genetic diversity relationships. It is crucial to broadly evaluate how these models perform across resistance, movement, population conditions in predicting patterns complex landscapes.ObjectivesOur goal was investigate different affect prediction spatial landscapes, considering factors such as structure, drift, disequilibrium, organism movement abilities.MethodsWe used...
Understanding how genetic diversity is spatially structured a priority to gain insights into populations’ status and assess their abilities counteract the effects of drift. Such knowledge particularly scarce for snow leopard, wide-ranging felid Central Asia mountains. Focusing on leopard population from Gansu Province, China, we investigated presence strength spatial patterns in Qilian mountains, adopting spatially-explicit indices multivariate analysis methods. We compared information...
The Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr) has experienced dramatic range and population contractions over the last century. Conservation efforts for this felid focused on captive breeding identification of suitable conditions reintroductions. With study, we unravelled historical collaring direct observations data to understand spatial use leopards recorded in region Israel West Bank (IWB). Through datasets occurrence, characterised habitats, assessed niche overlap with leopard's main prey,...
<title>Abstract</title> Diets of carnivores provide insights into predator-prey relationship and intra-guild competition, contribute to drafting fruitful conservation strategies. However, few high-resolution dietary dataset exist in Central Asia, hindering deep understanding their coexistence grazing landscape. Here, we present detailed trophic interaction among four Tianshan Mountains Northwest China deriving from 179 fecal samples. Using DNA metabarcoding, identified 20 prey items across 5...
Abstract The mechanisms of interactions between apex and smaller carnivores may range from competition to facilitation. Conversely, predators prey are mainly driven by the reducing likelihood encounters with predators. In this study, we investigated (1) spatiotemporal an (the snow leopard) a meso-predator red fox), (2) temporal leopard its potential (Siberian ibex, argali, Asian wild ass, Tolai hare) through camera trapping in Mongolian Great Gobi-A. probability occurrence for fox was higher...
Abstract Context The assessment of landscape-level connectivity patterns is centrally important to the conservation management wildlife species. This especially true for highly vagile carnivore species, which efforts should extend beyond protected areas and link core populations. Objectives We investigated effectiveness Qilianshan National Park (China), across provinces Gansu Qinghai, in providing adequate snow leopard habitat major dispersal routes. Methods coupled resistant kernel...
